If you're like most people, you're starved for healthy silence. Today, you're likely to spend 11 hours in front of screens and you'll probably interact with your phone more than 2,000 times. Silence is on the endangered experiences list. Part of the challenge is that it's gotten a bad rap. The silent treatment, silent betrayal, and deprivation have made us gun-shy, and rightly so. Is it even worth trying to include silence in our lives? Absolutely yes. The best kinds of silence can rehumanize us, by introducing us to the gifts of listening, canvas, answer, anticipation, respect, rest, and wonder. Silence can also make us dramatically healthier, happier, and much more pleasant to be around! Especially now, given #loveinthetimeofcorona, you might be experiencing far more silence than you're used to, and it's driving you batty. This book isn't for monks and horse whisperers. It's for you.
